My Favorite Record

Neil and I take a look at the most bizarre record I've listened to yet on the podcast Korn - Follow the Leader. We discuss why Neil loves their sound and what makes thig album a seminal record for any Nu Metal fan. Listen to my brain explode as we talk about the insane guest spots on this record.

We break down Temple of the Dog's self titled debut album. Anthony gives me an education on all things grunge. He tells the story of how his aunt shaped his musical journey. The amount of love and passion Toto has for Chris Cornell's music is unmistakable. An extra special episode for me, hope you enjoy.

Joe and I groove out to Spoon - They Want My Soul. Joe laments his love of the new wave of "Dad Rock", but also how this record was there for him at just the right time. Somehow we dive deep into my love for Zach Braff and the movie Garden State.

Harrison and I get amped up listening to his favorite record Silent Alarm by Bloc Party. We discuss the pivotal nature of this album in the current trajectory in music. The two of us get a little sidetracked more than once on this one, but all in service of having a good time. This one was a blast. Give it a listen and let me know what you think

Joe and I take a deep dive into Brand New - Deja Entendu. Its an all cousin episode this time around. Joe talks about how this album helped him Zen before a big baseball game. We try to break down the troubling issue of separating the art from the artist.

Kyle and I get passionate about his love of Mac Miller. We wax poetic about the music production on this record. Kyle talks about the ways Mac's music has influenced him and the music industry at large. We also get a chance to reminisce about some of the amazing concert experiences we've shared together. Give this one a listen. RIP Mac.

Vanessa and I discuss all things Taylor Swift. Her deeply emotional connection with the music and how it ties to a certain point in her life. Vanessa gives me a lesson in the female side of break-ups and how crying in the bathtub listening to Red is the best remedy. We debate the value of listening to music for its lyrics or for its sound. I knew this episode would be trouble, but here it is!

Justin tries to convince me to give Thursday's Full Collapse a second chance. We get nostalgic about the days when live music was still a thing and when MTV still showed music videos. We also make an attempt to try and define just what Emo is as a genre and why we listen to it.

In this episode my friend Charlie Winkler and I discuss all things Weezer. He tells me about his love of the blue album. His amazement at Rivers Cuomo's song structure and why being a nerd makes Weezer just a little bit better.
